'An important and timely book' from the Foreword by Stanley Johnson'A complete and absorbing history of a decade of intense international politics?offers many insights for future negotiators of sustainable solutions' Stephen Bass, International Institute for Environment and Development'Skillfully navigates the jungle of forest politics, leaving us in no doubt that the verbal commitment to save the world's forests has yet to be translated into action on the ground. The way forward must clearly lie in political commitments and international cooperation if forests are to continue to preserve life

Souvent présenté comme une activité archaïque, l'extractivisme, c'est-à-dire l'exploitation de produits forestiers à des fins commerciales, pourrait n'être que le témoignage de l'un des divers cycles économiques que le Brésil a vécus. Mais les mouvements des collecteurs de latex d'hévéa, aux revendications relayées par diverses institutions, et une opinion publique sensibilisée aux problèmes écologiques l'ont propulsé au centre des débats sur la gestion des écosystèmes forestiers. La question de sa place dans le développement régional est posée. Mais que sait-on de sa viabilité écologique ? Comment peut-il s'adapter aux changements écologiques et sociaux qui affectent aujourd'hui l'Amazonie ? Dans un contexte mondial de mise en culture de nombreuses espèces, de fabrication massive de produits de synthèse, pourquoi un tel intérêt autour de cette activité ? Comment l'extractivisme peut-il participer à de nouvelles formes de gestion de la forêt associant conservation et mise en valeur ? Often présented as an archaic activity, extractivism, that is to say the exploitation of forest products for commercial purposes, might be merely a feature of one of the various économie cycles that Brazil has experienced. However, movements of rubber tree latex col-lectors, with claims relayed by various institutions, and public opinion aware of ecological problems, have made it a central élément of discussions concerning the management of forest ecosystems. The question of its position in régional development is raised. But what is known about its ecological viability? How can it adapt to the ecolo-gical and social changes that currently affect Amazonia? Why is so much interest shown in this activity in a global context in which numerous species are cultivated and massive quantities of synthetic products are manufactured? How can extractivism form part of new types of forest management combining conservation and development?
